Just FYI. I'm not going to routinely forward wiki-research-l posts
here, assuming all of you are on that list or will be soon (
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l ). Sharing
data like this early is generally something we want to get into the
habit of doing. :-)

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Article Feedback Feature: Public Policy Pilot
To: wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Everyone,
As some of you may know, we launched an experimental Article Feedback
feature as part of the Public Policy Initiative last week. The
"Article Feedback Tool" enables readers to quickly assessthe sourcing,
completeness, neutrality, and readability of a Wikipedia article on a
five-point scale. It is currently deployed on about 300 articles [1]
in the area of Public Policy on the English Wikipedia. More details
may be found on the blog post [2] as well as the post on Foundation-l
[3].
We've been capturing the ratings data and have some early analysis to
share around the types of ratings users are providing. There are some
interesting differences between anonymous and registered users:

The dump of the article-level data is also available [4] for those who
are interested.
If anyone would like to be involved in the ongoing research and
evaluation of this tool, please sign up on the Article Feedback
Workgroup page. [5]
Howie
